Children's spines take on a lot — from delivery through sports, backpacks, and growing pains. Dr. Gregory Mayfield uses age-appropriate, low-force techniques at our Royal Ave office that are safe, effective, and designed for young patients who have never been to a chiropractor before.

Our Monroe office sits on Royal Ave, minutes from West Monroe, ULM, and the medical district — with a second Mayfield location in Shreveport if you're ever out west.

A former police officer who responded to wrecks on these same Twin Cities roads, Dr. Mayfield has spent 31+ years helping Northeast Louisiana move without pain — and is qualified as an expert witness in motor-vehicle-accident cases.
Pediatric adjustments bear no resemblance to adult adjustments. Force, technique, and goals are all scaled to the child's age and body. We take time to explain every step to both the parent and the child so the visit is calm, not clinical — and Twin Cities families keep coming back because their kids actually like coming in.

From ULM students and Warhawk athletes to Graphic Packaging and hospital shift workers to anyone rear-ended on I-20 or US-165 — we know the loads, the hours, and the injuries Northeast Louisiana lives with.
Desk strain, backpack shoulders, and athletic injuries from a campus full of bodies in motion — care that works around class and practice.
Graphic Packaging, the hospitals, oilfield, and the trades wear on a spine. We schedule around real Monroe and West Monroe shifts.
Two of the busiest roads in NELA cross right here. We treat whiplash & disc injuries and handle the insurance and attorney side.

Yes. Pediatric chiropractic adjustments use a fraction of the force used for adults — typically no more pressure than you would use to gently test a ripe piece of fruit. The techniques are adapted to a child's size, age, and stage of development. Dr. Gregory Mayfield has 31+ years of experience treating patients of all ages at the Monroe office, and our environment is welcoming and unhurried for families.
Children can be evaluated at any age, including newborns. Families in Monroe and West Monroe sometimes bring infants in after a difficult delivery to assess for birth-related tension in the upper cervical spine. Toddlers and school-age children benefit from routine spinal checks during growth spurts, after sports injuries, or when carrying heavy backpacks. Teenagers see us for sports injuries, tech-neck from phones, and scoliosis monitoring.
Most health insurance plans that include chiropractic benefits cover children under the same family policy. We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, and Medicare. Our staff at (318) 323-7246 verifies your child's benefits before the first appointment so there are no billing surprises.
The most frequent reasons Monroe and West Monroe families visit our Royal Ave office with children include sports injuries (from youth football, basketball, baseball, and gymnastics), backpack-related back or neck pain, growing pains and posture concerns during growth spurts, headaches linked to screen time and poor cervical posture, and follow-up care after a car accident on I-20 or US-165. Infants are sometimes brought in for colic or feeding difficulties linked to cervical tension from delivery.
